Propane prices went up to about $5/gal this winter. They were around $1.64 at the beginning of December, So I refused to pay those prices and heated with wood all winter. Unfortunately, My room with the plants in them were the furthest away from my fire place and out of reach of the blowers, meaning the rooms stayed fairly cold. I thought about maybe placing a heat mat under the terrarium, which does have a couple inches of water in the bottom. I'm not sure if that would help much with air temps though.
Either way Charlie if you do get a bical good luck with it. They are an awesome Nepenthes.
